Getting ready for Camp.

Thank you so much to the parents and students of Room 10 for their efforts getting us all ready for camp next week. Here's to a fun, challenging and successful few days!
I have really enjoyed reading through the comments made by parents on the students' pre-camp responsibility sheet. Here are a few of them:

It was to have my nightly drink made for me.

Could we please have one of these every week? We have had an extremely helpful person at our home this week.

He is very good at making his lunch!

Keep it up! (in reference to a tidy bedroom!)

Bedroom a bit messy but much improved.

Loved my cup of tea:)

It has great seeing ****** practice cleaning up after himself this week.

Thanks for a great week!

Thinking Ahead to Kotahitanga Week

Room 10 have had a couple of days to think of some designs they would like to use on our 2016 Pou. There ideas were really good and they put a lot of thought and effort into how they would like to be portrayed.

The Start of a new year !!

Welcome to 2016 and ROOM 10!
Room 10 has 29 awesome students and two teachers! 
Mrs Burch and Mrs Goodwin
This week we have spent time getting to know each other and creating minions of ourselves (amongst other things!) We have also come up with our expectations on how we should get along at school and show respect for HNI and its values.

Room 10 Class Guidelines

Respect the property, environment and community of HNI at all time.

Be positive and supporting in your language and actions.

Aspire and Excel to be the best version of yourself.

Together we achieve more.

Published Poems

Yesterday we revisited parts of speech - but did so through poetry. It also was a chance to make sure that we are still  thinking carefully about word choice and creating descriptive sentences.
It was a great reaction this morning to see so many Room 11 students head over to the wall to read their own poems and those of their class mates!

More on Measuring

Today we learnt some new words associated with measurement!  From "mouthful" to "jiffy", "googal" and "Warhol" - we came across a huge range of words we didn't know where actually units of measure.
Then we looked at how we could use ourselves as a unit  measurement:

Maths - Learning to measure.

With our unit on Measurement the class have had an opportunity to "measure" in a variety of ways and use a range of measuring equipment!
We had a "Mini-Olympics" that involved a 10m straw sprint, a paper plane pole vault, balloon shotput, counter long and high jump and the last event was a skewer javelin throw!


For the record Mavi, Dylan and Bryn took out first place!!
